dearest quokkalokka:
if you are someone who wants (nay, needs) comfy cozy mysteries that feel like the series you watch when you're sick (think monk, the spencer sisters, and only murders in the building) or who wants (nay, needs) classic rom coms like the movies of yesteryear (think the proposal and the wedding date), my books are for you.
quick note no. 1 -- i have embraced the conscious act of writing in lowercase across my website (minus my longer blogs). in these...odd...times we are having in the united states, i believe we need to have online spaces where we can find the equivalent of a cup of warm tea and a buttered slice of toast. on this site, i want to be that tea and buttered bread. and to that point, a recent study found that reading an all-lowercase message increased the reader's "level of calmness."
quick note no. 2 -- also, quokkas are my favorite wild animal. so when I call you a "quokkalokka," this is my way of saying you, too, are my favorite wild animal. (insert silly snort laugh here.)
